Good Weekend editor Ben Naparstek was quick to give his side of the story in a statement: "I totally understood and respected Caitlin's decision not to pursue our shoot, which would have been a classy shoot with a leading American fashion photographer in line with the beautiful artistic imagery she'd published of herself on Herself.com, which she'd just launched.

"When she rejected our concept we decided to go with the existing portraits offered to us by her agent instead. With the Herself.com peg no longer as strong, we chose to delay the profile until later in the year so it could be tied to the new seasons of her series Please Like Me and Reign."
